Yes, you're right. Victron have no clue about how batteries work! I really have no idea how they have managed to stay in business for about half a century, most of that time as a leading vendor in that market. But not to worry; I'll forward them your URL so they can ask this blogger in Denmark to explain it to them. Once they do that, I'm sure they'll change the software in their products accordingly.
 

The battery was bought new by my boss and when he sold it on to me it already had those 9999 readings so I'm not sure what settings his inverter was using.
But when I had it installed for a few years, I found a screenshot of WatchPower with the settings:



I also found a screenshot of the original specification sheet:

 
 

You need to measure and record the municipal meter and the house consumption.

Monthly I record the CoJ Pre-Paid meter and the total house consumption using a Hiking DDS238-2 meter.
The Hiking DDS238-2 measures the consumption after the inverter.
Instead of the Hiking DDS238-2 you can extract the consumption data from your inverter.
I use Excel to record:

Purple = CoJ Meter consumption kWh
Green = DDS238-2 Meter (Total House Consumption) kWh
Blue =  Self Solar = House_Total-CoJ Meter. i.e. difference between CoJ and Total house consumption. This is what comes from the Sun aka SELF generated.
 
 

@hoohloc I was just going to accept the loss and walk away. So thank you for your advise to contact them directly, it has saved me a lot of money now. 

SOLVED: Pylontech + Victron = High Cell Voltage Alarm
Hi guys,
the problem shown above is a specific issue that is affecting only the combination of Victron + Pylontech, when using CAN communication between the Victron GX device and the Pylontech's BMS.
Root cause is something like this:
Most of the inverter manufacturers are using original Pylontech BMS CANbus protocol implementation, that is quite limited on the information it can provide about the cells. It focuses on SOC, current control and alarms mainly. Victron was the first one (AFAIK) to implement enhanced version of the BMS CANbus protocol. The enhanced protocol is able to report information about the state of individual cells, which is great for diagnostics.
For a shame, from time to time there's a voltage sampling error. Normally, this error is being eliminated by the BMS verification algorithm, so the battery as a whole is aware that it's just an error and stays calm. But when the enhanced protocol is used then the Victron GX device receives actual value (bad sample), will log it in the VRM, and might start to panic.
That's the reason, why this issue is affecting Victron installations only (AFAIK).
The issue is solved via Pylontech firmware update, where bad samples are automatically eliminated from being forwarded to Victron GX.
Hope this helps,
Youda

From what i have gathered over the past few years reading about LFP you should be cycling them as much as you possibly can. Calendar aging will kill the battery before it dies from too many cycles.  I try to do 90-95% DOD every day but with all the loadshedding it makes it hard to cycle as much.

Most definitely.
There is a good chance that having the equipment (both the Victron kit and the batteries) installed by someone who is not an accredited installer will lead to the warranties not being honoured. Do not underestimate the value of a quality installation job. If you pay so much for the kit, don't try save cost on the installation and programming of it.

Yes very true. Unless an electrician learns something about solar it might not be the right guy for the job. 
Accredited guys have a lower risk. 
Having read your posts I have a motto I always read the manual before I even buy something I have never used. It does help but one can still miss vital information. The tech is just changing so fast one cannot only work on comments or opinion which is mostly not advice. Advice is what you get when you pay a guy for his/her time. 
We see a lot of problems people have and it stems down to the actual setup or configuration than the equipment themselves. 

Following this topic with a gnashing of teeth. My hubble is less than a year old. After a few months it started providing about half the capacity. Took it in to hubble and and the tech reset the bms settings and it behaved for a few weeks but now it's back to its shenanigans.
Looks like it needs to go back to hubble. Maybe permanently this time.

Been using aircon at night and 4kw geyser from 04:30 - 05:30 in the morning 
The Big test will be in winter time 🙈

That looks so nice!!

Yes, that is not a capacitor, I would take any of their claims with a shovel of salt.

You don't need to set this when using BMS coms, you don't even have an option to manually set that if you select LI on Growatt 😀

There are two type of low power factor: due to inductance or capacitance, or due to rectifiers. Cheap and nasty appliances just rectify and smooth AC, resulting in power being drawn in bursts only at the peaks of the AC waveform.

You could sell the palm trees or move them but that might cost more. They incredibly easy to move to people with the right tools.
They have very small shallow roots.

Maybe what you're seeing is this... When the batt is over 90% full, the charge current limit set by the BMS comes down to 59.2A for 4xUS3000.
From your screenshots, your batt was at 97% SOC.

Everything except for geyser element (on AC2 out) is on the essential loads AC1 out. Even without scheduling what goes on/off this 10kVA setup seems more than sufficient for the current needs. At this point in the house we have no idea when the grid is available or not 😄 We use kettle, coffee machine, hairdryer, borehole pump, washing machine all at will, on a whim.

Due to the sensitivity from some members, I'm wary of saying anything positive about Hubble. 

This higher voltage is not for a Pylontech but a BSL battery which charge on a higher voltage.

Ahhhhh now that's better!!
Added 20x CS 325W panels (5S 4P) 6.5kWp
MPPT 250/100

So this baby is in and performing, quite sad without the MPPTs tbh, could be doing so much more than just waiting for a power cut 😆

Parts already purchased. Unfortunately I've had a long time to dream about this and decided on blue, so gigantic UPS it is, just for 6 months so it's not too bad 🤣

Or  4Series 3Parallel 

If your solar voltage was 150V when you saw 30A briefly, that's 4500W
12 panels x 405W = 4860W so that would be close to the max you'll get out of them.
 
And if you get 10A per panel string at max current, that points to 3 strings.
 
So my guess is 3 strings of 4 panels

If you had a clearer writing style maybe some would. I for one really struggle to understand the points you are trying to make. Build a nice Excel model with clearly listed assumptions to test alternatives with and without batteries ... That would be very easy to agree or disagree with.
